Fitness Wednesdays: How to Build a Salad

I continue to include eating healthier as part of my fitness quest curvy divas.  As I get older it is one of my goal to have my body looking and feeling the way I want, fit and healthy.  With that in mind, although I do indulge from time to time, I make having salad as a main meal three times a week, something I do.  

I've posted some photographs of one such salad, it's a fruit and vegetable combo, my favorite!  

Ingredients:
  • Fruits: Grapes, Strawberry and peaches.   
  • Vegetables: Arugula, Iceberg lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato.  
  • The dressing: Butterscotch Ranch.


How I did it:
  • I gathered all my ingredients, washed and separated them on a dinner plate.
  • I retrieve my container (for lunch) and then I layered each item beginning with the lettuces first.  Then I added slices of tomatoes, then cucumbers.  I continued to add each item until the bowl was filled with everything. 
  • I then poured the salad dressing in a mini carry bowl.
  • Walllah~ lunch is ready!

Window Shopping Part Deux - What I Chose

As you know from my last article , I went shopping for swimsuit with my teen Mandi and ended up doing the same for myself. After all, I was in need of a new bathing suit.

So Those have lasted quite a long time!

Backstage at OIFW Model Casting Call

On Saturday, yesterday in fact, I had the pleasure of attending a casting call for models , an event organized and hosted by Fierce Entertainment Management for their upcoming Orlando International Fashion Week, November  2-8, 2014 . Attendees at the event were welcomed by Fierce Entertainment's, Rob Henlon who then handed the program over to the vivacious Kristania Vielot who instructed the aspiring models for their walk down the runway, strutting their stuff for the designers and other members of the Fierce team. As the models strutted to the sound of the music-mix pumping, guests sipped and ate refreshments that were provided.   Before they walked the impromptu runway, I had a little  tête-à-tête   with three of the young models, Logan-9, Ashley-6 and Aiden-4,  beautiful, cute, and adorable , (who won't want me to call them that, but I am because they were) whose future will lead them to become what they dream of!   ...

Lacquered: Move over Glossy, Matte Nails are in!

In Purewow's Beauty section online, I read with interest that the new trend for nails this fall will be the matte finished,  as in shine-free!  Well move over glossy & shiny!  Remember curvy divas , there is matte makeup ; matte lipstick ; I even remember the matte finish jewelry trend , and now we have matte nail polishes!! Did you ever think that trend would be in nail polishes too?   According to Purewow, the Matte Finish not only comes as a nail polish, but also as a Top Coat! They recommend that we first try the top coat in matte finish to see if we like the look.  You can apply it over your regular nail color of the week and have matte-finished nails! Top Coat in Matte Finish SHOP The budget-friendly and cautious side of me agrees this would be a safe way to see if you do like the look (although at $19 each there's nothing cheap about it!) and just in case you don't want to splurge on every color in the line of matte finishes, I guess i...
